AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
220 AM EDT FRI JUN 26 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY AFFECT THE AREA
THROUGH FRIDAY. A STRONGER LOW AND COOL FRONT WILL CAUSE
UNSETTLED WEATHER OVER THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER FRONT FOR NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
200 AM UPDATE...
RAISED POPS FRI MORNING FOR WARM ADVECTION / THETA E ADVECTION
PRECIPITATION. NEAR TERM MODELS SHOW CURRENT CONVECTION HEADING
MOSTLY S OF THE AREA AND DISSIPATING BUT THEN REDEVELOPING
FARTHER N TOWARD SUNRISE OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

PREV DISCN...
NO BIG CHANGES IN THE LATE EVENING UP. THE SHIFT SOUTH...
WE MADE TO THE HIGHER POPS...SEEMS TO BE PANNING OUT. STILL KEPT
HIGHER POPS OVER OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES...BUT CONTINUED
TO BRING BACK CHANCE POPS OVERNIGHT IN THE NORTH...WITH CHANCES
OF RAIN EVEN FRIDAY MORNING.

IF CELLS IN CENTRAL KY AT 0230Z...LINE UP AND DROP INTO OUR
EXTREME SOUTH...COULD NOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT FLASH FLOOD
CONCERNS. BUT AS OF 0230Z...MOST RAIN AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN A HALF
INCH IN THE CELLS AND THAT IS OUR DRIEST AREA. THE LOW LEVEL
INFLOW ON THE 88D VADS ARE NOT AS IMPRESSIVE AS WE SAW EARLIER
THIS EVENING.

DESPITE CLOUDS...AREAS OF STRATUS OR VARIABLE FOG COULD FORM IN
WAKE OF ANY RAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. A STRONG
COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY AS LOW PRESSURE
LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. FRONT WILL BE TO THE EAST OF THE
CWA BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING. COULD BE SEVERE WEATHER ON
SATURDAY...MAINLY ACROSS THE EASTERN ZONES...BUT CANT BE
COMPLETELY RULED OUT OTHER PLACES AS WELL. IN ADDITION...GUSTY
WINDS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY AS THE LOW AND
ASSOCIATED FRONT PUSH THROUGH THE AREA.

LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH OFF TO THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY. AREA WILL BE IN A COOL MOIST PATTERN ON SUNDAY...WITH SOME
LIGHT SHOWERS CONTINUING ON SUNDAY...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND NORTHERN WV/SOUTHEAST OHIO ZONES IN THE NW FLOW.
BRIEF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN LATER IN THE DAY SUNDAY...FOR
SOME GRADUAL CLEARING/DRYING...PARTICUARLY ACROSS THE WEST AND
SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
GIVEN THE CONTINUATION OF A SERIES OF UPPER TROUGHS AND FRONTS
MOVING ACROSS THE AREA NEXT WEEK...WILL GENERALLY KEEP THIS
PERIOD UNSETTLED. HARD TO TIME THESE SYSTEMS...SO WILL BROADBRUSH
AND KEEP CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR EACH DAY NEXT
WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE MODERATE DUE TO THE CLOUDS
AND SHOWERS...EVEN AS THE COOLER CANADIAN AIRMASS EXITS EAST BY
MONDAY.

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NRN SITES PKB...CKB AND EKN WILL HAVE TIMES OF MVFR STRATOCU...IFR
STRATUS AND/OR FOG OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY FRI MORNING JUST N OF A
WARM FRONT. MVFR TO PERHAPS IFR FOG CAN FORM ACROSS SRN SITES.

THE WARM FRONT WILL RESULT IN INCREASING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FRI MORNING THAT WILL BRING MVFR TO BRIEF IFR
CONDITIONS INTO FRI AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT AND LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL BRING EVEN MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
FRI NT THAT WILL LIKELY EVENTUALLY BRING IFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT
FRI NT.

SFC FLOW WILL BE VARIABLE TO LIGHT W ACROSS NRN SITES AND
MOUNTAINS OVERNIGHT INTO FRI AND VARIABLE TO LIGHT E ELSEWHERE
     BECOMING LIGHT E TO SE EVERYWHERE FRI NT. LIGHT W TO NW FLOW
